Capítulo 932: Chapter 351: Zhou Wang Showing Off, Senior Breaking Out of the Circle
Jiang Mo’s solo performance wasn’t long, about three minutes, roughly two-thirds shorter than when her senior participated in the selection last time.
But this is also reality, despite Jiang Mo’s outstanding appearance and exceptional piano skills, she still lacked any previous fame. Considering the overall specification of the gala, having the opportunity to dominate the stage for three minutes is already a rare achievement.
In fact, if it weren’t for the strong support of the Conservatory President (thanks to Ding Yi in this regard), Jiang Mo, given her qualifications, might not have had such an opportunity.
Dong!
As the final note fell, Jiang Mo’s performance ended as well. As she rose, holding her skirt and gracefully bowing, after a momentary pause, enthusiastic applause swept across the audience.
On major live streaming platforms, the comment section exploded once again.
About 20% of the comments were the usual praises like “leaves one wanting more” or “lingering sound”, while the rest were jokes with a serious tone, like “In one minute, I want to know everything about this sister” or “I’m in Beidou, anyone want to team up to block her at the concert hall?”…
Sitting in the audience, Zhou Wang hadn’t had a chance to check his phone yet, but at this moment, watching the senior standing in the spotlight, Zhou Wang also had a vague feeling.
The senior might really become famous.
…
At 10:30 PM, after two hours, the celebration gala finally concluded with the segment where people from all walks of life took the stage to offer their blessings.
Zhou Wang stood up, joined the applause, and after briefly greeting Mr. Liu next to him, turned to walk out of the concert hall.
On the way, Zhou Wang sent a message to the senior. After receiving a reply, the corners of Zhou Wang’s mouth curved into a smile.
A moment later, smoking a cigarette in the parking lot outside the side entrance of the concert hall, Zhou Wang saw Jiang Mo, holding her skirt, walking hurriedly yet slowly.
Calling her hurried because her posture seemed rushed, looking around cautiously as she walked, afraid of walking in the wrong direction; calling her slow because she rarely wore high heels, making her gait appear very cautious.
Fearing she might twist her ankle, Zhou Wang approached her proactively. Seeing Zhou Wang appear, Jiang Mo pressed her lips, and her slightly anxious expression gradually calmed down.
The two stood face to face, Zhou Wang feeling a bit dazed.
It had been a full two weeks since they last met, and there really was a sense of a lifetime had passed. The main reason was the cool aura around the senior, which had become even more intense with her artistic career… Without the existence of the [Greeting Card], would she still be his senior? Zhou Wang, as a mere mortal, couldn’t be sure.
“Did you miss me?”
Zhou Wang glanced at the senior in high heels, appearing half a head taller than him. After flashing a grin, he softly asked.
“Mm…”
Jiang Mo nodded slightly. Although the action was gentle, her eyes were as bright as the stars.
“Prove it.”
Upon hearing Zhou Wang’s seemingly teasing request, Jiang Mo didn’t hesitate. She didn’t even look around to check if anyone else was there, and leaned forward to kiss Zhou Wang’s lips.
The ethereal fragrance, like a blooming flower in a secluded valley, filled the air. Once again savoring the sweetness of the senior, Zhou Wang felt immensely satisfied. The only thing he found slightly odd was…
Dammit, at this moment, Jiang Mo genuinely seemed taller than him. When Jiang Mo wrapped her arms around his neck, Zhou Wang had a constant illusion that he was in a passive position.
…
As the audience slowly left, the exit passages of the concert hall became crowded.
Mr. Liu and several of his old friends chatted cheerfully, followed by his secretary and health care doctor, as they emerged from a separate VIP corridor.
“Today’s young people indeed, they have vitality and energy, but unfortunately, they are still a bit restless…”
Mr. Liu walked with his hands behind his back, expressing his sentiments about the contemporary youth.
The few friends nearby didn’t know where his emotions came from, but as the topic was raised, they all quickly shared their own views.
“Absolutely, times have changed. Back then, all we had were big-character posters and broadcasts, now the internet has everything. Even children in kindergarten can receive endless information every day.”
“Didn’t they say, if you really put your mind to it, you could even learn how to build a plane online… Tsk tsk, we old fellows wouldn’t dare to imagine!”
“There are pros and cons, but fundamentally it’s the same. Some get lost in the trends, while others become stronger and more outstanding…”
“That’s true. Liu, your granddaughter is an example, isn’t she? It seems like you must have accumulated blessings for generations to have such an outstanding granddaughter… Still unmarried, right?”
“Don’t even think about it. Your unsuccessfully succeeding offspring, I wouldn’t even consider them!”
When the topic shifted to his “granddaughter,” Mr. Liu instantly became vigilant.
“How can you say that? My grandson isn’t bad, is he? At least he’s the youngest director of X, so what more do you want?”
“Exactly, my eldest nephew is also a rising young talent in the Beidou circle, a businessman with a wealth of several million…”
For their self-praise, Mr. Liu sneered.
“Look at you guys, you don’t even dare to brag big. There was a young man sitting next to me earlier, and the moment he spoke, he was talking about billions!”
